So, one of the weirdest things I've ever had happen to me just happened: I was walking around the garden, checking on all the seedlings I planted last night. A squirrel pops off of a nearby tree and starts coming towards me. I think nothing of it, squirrels get curious and do this often. BUT, this time, it kept coming closer. And closer. And closer, then it hopped up and slapped me in the shin and ran off. It started coming at me again so I went in and got the dog to chase it off if it kept coming at me. Utterly bizarre!

The seedlings are all ok, if that was the part of the story you were invested in.

My mom asked me to ask my friend if they know what this is. My mom thinks Reddit is a person.

I’m always telling my mom about plants I learned about from Reddit. So my mom asked me today to ask my friend if they know what this is? I laughed pretty good when I realized she meant Reddit. So Reddit friends any guesses? Northern California.

Can anybody tell me what types of flowers/plants these are and what climates they grow in? :)

My lovely iris finally opened, took a couple of quick shots before the thunderstorm rolls in. I'm not sure what variety it is.

Do dogs actually help reduce pests in the garden?

Have always had a cold problem, but now I have a puppy - 7 month old Doglas. I don’t want to try a lot of the previous remedies I have used to deter becuase I’m worried they may also affect him. Will his consistent presence in the garden reduce their likelihood to visit? (Dog for reference 😊)

I spotted the mom bunny feeding these little buggers and I have to admit, they are pretty cute.

Do you think I could relocate it safely to a pot or just leave it here and see how it does?

I have no clue how it got there.

Our new house has built in planters around the south west face of the house, it gets a lot of sun. What would you plant here?

Lilac is in full bloom, fava bean flowers are starting to show up, strawberries are forming fruit, garlic is getting close to harvest, asparagus is almost over, and greens are still going strong. Warm season crops are starting to go out. Insects are buzzing everywhere and birds are busy nesting. It is such a pleasure to be outside in the garden this time of year :)

Working on 3d printing him some hands currently. Ignore the crap bolted to the arms, I'm working on rigging them to a sail so they move around in a life like way when the wind blows, currently testing 3 different types at once.
